About our non-slip bath coating in Affetside
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Advice
Affetside questions
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Affetside?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.
